Yosemite West High Sierra Bed & Breakfast

We spent 4 nights at the B&B and the space is perfect for a family with 2 kids. The location of the B&B is AMAZING - you are inside the park and 20-30 mins drive away from most of the attractions! The other bonus is the host Karen, who has lived in the park for decades. Karen would spend 15-20 mins with us each night and help plan our next day - this along was invaluable to ensure we saw all the best parts of Yosemite. Karen and her daughter were also very helpful advising us on what to bring with us, where to buy groceries etc. and answering any questions prior to arriving. If you are visiting Yosemite, 4 days was perfect and you can not go wrong staying with Karen. Highly recommended!

Karen and her daughters Ali & Christine are fabulous! After staying at 3 B&Bs in California before arriving to High Sierra for the last 3 nights of our honeymoon, we couldn't have been more surprised at what a wonderful place it is!Breakfasts were amazing - there's always a hot meal, along with freshly made coffee, fruit, bars for the day, cereal, yogurt, etc.Ali & Christine are so polite and accommodating. You can tell Karen & her daughters take pride in their home and want their guests to be comfortable and thoroughly enjoy Yosemite. She made sure we had our days planned before we headed out, and gave us great tips like where to park, what to see, how to avoid the crowds, etc. Karen is a wonderful resource to learn about Yosemite and how to most enjoy your stay. She also had DVDs about the park we watched in the evening to learn more about Yosemite. She is super helpful, and even let us borrow her hydroflask water bottle and art supplies for an art class. It was beyond our expectations and we'll definitely be back in the future! Was the perfect way to end our honeymoon :)

Unfair, beware !! I read the reviews. Like others who have chosen this b&b, I was attracted by its close proximity to Yosemite NP and others who spoke of their great experiences. I called Karen in Sep 2019. She really was knowledgeable and convinced me hers would be a great place to stay to experience all of the park. She even talked me into extending my stay with her a couple of days instead visiting a different park. I decided Yosemite would be the centerpiece of my bucket list trip to CA National Parks and sent Karen the $2,300 nonrefundable deposit. Fast forward to April 2020 and the Covid pandemic. CA was under mandatory shelter in place orders, Yosemite and other NPs were closed and the Mariposa county health dept. had issued a public order restricting hotels/B&B from operating. So Karen's establishment was not even going to be open for business during the time of my planned May stay. Reluctantly I cancelled the entire trip and asked for refunds; got them from everyone but Karen. Since that time I have pursued the issue with her on several occasions. She has not budged on returning any part of the $2,300 nor given me another workable remedy. She kept all the money for no services rendered. I hope to make the trip to CA once it's safe to travel again. When I do, I will not be staying with Karen. If you decide to book here, do so at your own peril.

The Yosemite West High Sierra Bed & Breakfast is a highly recommended option from the hustle and bustle of the Yosemite Valley. The rooms are clean and Karen, the host is great. Karen takes the time to sit with you and help plan our your days - here knowledge of Yosemite is invaluable. As amateur hikers, we were taking a 4 day wilderness hike to climb half dome and also wanted to take in clouds rest. With Karen's help she suggested changing our planned itinerary to make the hike as enjoyable as possible - and was she correct. Thanks again Karen!

I've never experienced worse!I had a child and a pregnant wife with me, we brought food and we weren't allowed to use the microwave, sitting right there in front of us? Rediculous rules, mean female owner.

Great location... Easy to get to the Valley, Glacier Point or Wawona..Karen and her daughters were great hosts...Their knowledge of the park and their tips were very helpful in avoiding crowds and seeing some 'off the beaten path' spots.... watching the sun set from the third floor deck was the perfect ending to a perfect day... Highly recommend.

High sierra is too far from yosemite. Map says 10 miles but neglects the switch backs, barely paved roads and reduced speed. Spent an hour driving this "ten miles". Avoid the high sierra resort campground. Pool for country club and used by bar staff over patrons. We were guests but asked to leave if campers. Check in staff says can use but resort says no. Bartender had swimsuit on and closed at 4. Said campers are not welcome as we are not members. Guess a 100 k motorhome is not worthy? Stay closer... Very deceptive distance and amenities.
